The next afternoon,

The plane returning home landed safely at S City International Airport.

The group arrived at the parking lot at a leisurely pace. The driver, Xiao Zhi, had been waiting for some time. He quickly stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door for the man at the head of the group. "Mr. Lin."

Lin Xuedong paused in his steps.

He slightly twisted his neck and glanced at the little woman following closely behind him.

Her petite figure only reached his shoulder, and her black business suit made her look composed and elegant. Her long, smooth, black hair fell naturally, swaying lightly with each graceful step.

A deep glint gradually appeared in Lin Xuedong's eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed silently at the open collar of his white shirt.

His fingers tightened slightly on the suit jacket wrapped around his arm, as if he wanted to say something.

But after a soft sigh, he turned around and bent down to sit in the carriage first.

After putting their luggage away, Liu Sisi and her assistant, Xiao, got into the car one after the other.

The black, gleaming Bentley Mulsanne then started moving.

Liu Sisi sat quietly, her gaze fixed on the window, her fingers intertwined.

She didn't seem to intend to talk to Lin Xuedong.

However, this unease was fully captured by his deep, clear eyes behind his sunglasses.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ah Xiao kept his ears down and his nose up, seemingly lost in thought.

He would steal glances every now and then at the man and woman sitting in the back seat.

It seemed that ever since last night, an unusual change had occurred between the two of them.

The atmosphere was somewhat distant, awkward, and tinged with ambiguity.

"Ahem, Mr. Lin. The summary meeting for the Yoshimoto project is scheduled for 3 PM today."

He glanced at his watch, then turned his head slightly to look at Lin Xuedong, his gaze tentatively asking, "It's lunchtime now, should I order some food to bring to your office?"

Or, you two... uh, go for some alone time?

Lin Xuedong wore a pair of cool sunglasses, which acted as a mysterious barrier, making it impossible to see his eyes or detect any fluctuation in his emotions.

Perhaps, they want to tone down their brilliance.

He said he would give her time and space.

So he casually replied, "Okay, go ahead and make the arrangements."

A moment later, he picked up his phone and started swiping and tapping on the screen, looking like he was dealing with something.

Xiao was also fiddling with his phone...

The Lin's Building is located on Mingjiang Middle Road, south of Mingjiang.

This is a traditional commercial street in S City, just across the street from the famous Mingjiang Bund.

Looking across the Bund from the Lin's Building, you can see the Yongchang New District.

Over there, various modern skyscrapers stand majestically, arranged in a well-organized manner, forming a magnificent and beautiful landscape along both banks of the Mingjiang River.

"Hello, Manager Liu!"

"Manager Liu, you're back!"

"Manager Liu, you've worked hard!"

After parting ways with Lin Xuedong, Liu Sisi stepped out of the president's private elevator.

As she walked toward the office, she heard a chorus of voices as her colleagues greeted her warmly.

After getting rid of that man, Liu Sisi's mood clearly lightened.

A faint smile appeared on her lightly powdered face as she nodded in response to each person.

This is the 38th floor, which belongs to the Marketing and Promotion Department.

According to the division of business, she belongs to the foreign-invested group.

"Sisi, you're back?" As she arrived at the office door, Secretary Xiaobai tiptoed up to her and asked familiarly, "Are you hungry? Haven't eaten yet?"

She opened the door for Liu Sisi and turned on the light.

His eyes glanced at the lunchboxes laid out on the table. "Look, they're still warm, hurry up."

Liu Sisi blinked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Bai replied with a grin: "It was delivered from the president's office 5 minutes ago."

After putting her luggage away, Liu Sisi took out a wet wipe and cleaned her hands.

My eyes lit up the moment I opened the lunchbox.

Green peas, minced meat, and tofu stew!

It's a very simple dish, but she never gets tired of it.

The image of Lin Xuedong playing with his phone flashed through my mind, and a warm feeling welled up inside me.

Suddenly, she thought of Lin Lan again, and quickly shook her head, trying to dispel this incredible feeling.

Ring ring.

Work resumed gradually after lunch break at 2 PM.

Just then, the landline on Liu Sisi's desk rang.

Upon arriving at Lei Ke's office, Liu Sisi knocked on the glass door a few times.

Lei Ke looked up and said, "Sisi, come in."

"Director Lei."

"Sit down," Lei Ke gestured for her to sit down and talk. "You've worked hard on this mission!"

Liu Sisi sat down happily and opened her laptop.

"It's nothing." She smiled at Lei Ke and then began to report on her work.

"The contract with Gibbon has been copied to the legal and finance departments. As for the business and public relations, we'll discuss the final details of the publicity later."

Soon, the office was filled with the sounds of the two discussing and the intermittent tapping of keyboards.

Having summarized the data, Lei Ke glanced at her watch and started tidying up. "Let's go to the conference room and get ready."

"Okay, sure." Liu Sisi followed him.

The conference room is located on the 43rd floor, and there are about ten conference and exhibition halls of various sizes.

There are about twenty departments and personnel involved in this compilation.

At 2:45 p.m., the content of the cooperation agreement was also displayed on the projection screen on the wall.

As the participating colleagues entered the venue one after another, they inevitably exchanged greetings and pleasantries when they met.

"Sisi~"

A clear and excited female voice entered Liu Sisi's ears.

Immediately afterwards, she was embraced by a pair of slender arms.

Liu Sisi paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes at Lin Lan, who had bumped into her from behind.

He patted his chest, feigning surprise, "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Lin Lan grinned and laughed: "Hahaha, look at your fragile heart, I'm just giving you some exercise, aren't I?"

Liu Sisi pouted and retorted, "I can't accept that."

Then, he asked, "I thought you would only send your subordinates, why did you go in person?"

In fact, the post-event public relations work was simply issuing press releases.

Lin Lan nodded and hummed in agreement.

She raised an eyebrow, then said in a voice so soft only the two of them could hear, "With 'him' here, I can't be absent."

After saying that, he smiled and sat down with his assistant in the position of public relations director.

Then several more colleagues came in, including Zhou Zhichen.

A typical IT guy's outfit: a light blue shirt paired with black trousers, simple and neat.

Upon seeing Liu Sisi, he simply nodded to her naturally, offering the most ordinary greeting among colleagues.

Apart from Lin Lan, almost no one knows about their past.

Therefore, working together at the company did not cause them too much embarrassment or trouble.
